I love them.

I have never lived w/o one.
Great companions and some wonderful fishing dogs.

I have a question for some of ROFF

What do you do when you are in or near a campground?
Do you tie them up at anytime or are they obediant enough to know to
stay !! always w/o question!
Same w the river and other fishermen
Do they run around or do they only stay by your side?

I would like to take our standard poodle and I have not had nor
trained a fishing dog for many years.
( our Border Collie stays home in hhis borders)

Any tips on training in that situation would be helpful

I thoughht that if I brought some DAWG music by David Grisman and
Jerry Garcia, that it would penetrate her mind to know exactly what I
want of her
Poodles are amongst the smartest dogs

Thanks

Op

Another beautiful animal and nice fotos.

Many years ago I paid good money - a sizeable piece - for a great
female shepherd = Johanna - From a good breeder.

She wwas as obedient and faithful as you would want
I did not need a leash walking he in the city
She would stop at every corner and wait for my signs
She was not overly protective but enough so that people knew shje
would protect in a second.

Displasia and bad stomachs can be oproblems - chopped meat and rice

Good dog
You are lucky.
